Attendance Policy

As a competitive Triathlon club for young people we are dedicated to ensuring that members get the very best out of their membership. Regular training is essential to maintain and improve technique and fitness – and to maximise the opportunity to do well in competitions.  Training with friends also provides an essential social aspect to sport.

Of course we understand that members will not be able to attend every session, for a host of reasons, such as injuries, competing in events, triathlon or others, or playing in team sports, and we support our members taking part in a wide variety of activities.

Attendance expectations

• Members should try to attend as many training sessions as they can.
• Members should arrive early and be ready to train 5mins before the scheduled start time.
• Members should notify the Group Head Coach at the start of the training session if they are carrying an injury or if they need to leave the session early.
• Members are expected to have a rolling attendance of 70% of possible sessions

Communication of Absence

• Parents should contact the Group Head Coach in advance of training to let them know that the training will be missed.  This can be done by email – for example group 2 is group2@waldenjnr.co.uk or via WhatsApp. Please go to the Group pages on the website for your group email. If you need adding to the relevant WhatsApp group please contact your Group Lead Coach.  
• Parents should contact the Head Coach if there is an expectation that attendance will fall below 50% for a period of time.  The Head Coach can be emailed at headcoach@waldenjnr.co.uk
